But I&#39;m - what a strange coincidence - actively planning to refresh parts the tale soon, hopefully with pictures. Next month in Geneva, where Wolf fled just days before being outed by the czarist secret police, and then in August in Moscow, where I hope to digitize a load of old documents. Stay tuned.MOCKBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150628026789690963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-18277117938335053442011-06-08T00:54:53.572+02:002011-06-08T00:54:53.572+02:00Wow.

It was before the 1905 abolishment of the Pale and Siberia, being officially not a part of Russia proper and thus not falling under the Pale restrictions, offered awesome employment opportunities to adventurous Jewish youth. It ended during Russo-Japanese War when the Imperial government jailed him for peace agitation, but the Ohranka archives, declassified in the recent years, revealed to our surprised family that gramps Wolf remained involved with the Eastern Siberian socialists for a fairly long time after that episode.MOCKBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150628026789690963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-29358943767326861302011-06-06T17:13:26.022+02:002011-06-06T17:13:26.022+02:00Voi vi conoscete?

One could get absorbed picture by picture! I went back to the William Henry Jackson <a href="http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/browse.php?CISOROOT=%2FJackson&amp;CISOSTART=1,21" rel="nofollow">collection</a> at Brigham Young for further limited description, and hand-written notes from the back of the pictures. There&#39;s the occasional Western person (from the Transportation Commission?) in some of the pictures, while a few Amur pictures show some huge fish (Sturgeon?) almost incidental to the composition. There is at least one cigarette smoking man, but several women with long pipes with small bowls clamped between their teeth. What they made of the American entourage we can only guess. Truly memorable, Studiolum, thank you.walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603255065547405744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-56016168488847932362011-06-06T06:18:09.458+02:002011-06-06T06:18:09.458+02:00Thanks a lot, also in advance for future correctio...Thanks a lot, also in advance for future corrections.
